Laravel: Get pivot data for specific many to many

问题:

My User model has many Target and vice versa. Now I've got a given User and given Target and I want to access pivot data from their relation. The pivot column is called type

How can I achieve this?

回答1:

On the relationships for both User and Target, tack on a ->withPivot('type') which will instruct Laravel to include that column. Then once you have your result set, you can access the field with $user->pivot->type.

If you're not iterating over a collection, but have a user and one of their targets and want the type field, you could use $target = $user->targets->find($targetId) and access the type with $target->pivot->type.
